Fuck it, I'll post the rest of my Fake Pokemon idea before I adapted it into its own thing.
Made before Paldean Tauros revealed itself. Where tf is Paldean Miltank tho.
I loved Legends Arceus's slightly higher focus in the sciencey part of Pokemon, I wanted to lean further into it before getting so deep into the spec biology part of it, and wanted to draw creatures that strayed really far from Pokemon's design ethos.
Lemme draw some spooky bois, gamers. You know how tetrapoda is where all vertebrate animals are thought to originate from? What if there was also plerupoda and that's the common ancestor of dragons. Wouldn't that be sicc.
